Describe the Bug

Hello hello. I am currently trying to make a remark plugin that will target only specific Markdown files in a specified directory and do some text replacement. However, it seems like the file parameter within a plugin does not contain the complete data definition for the file, such as the filename, its directory, and so on. I assume that the remark plugin is supposed to have the following typing in its function, which states that the file parameter is supposed to be a VFile. But as the mini reproduction example, it seems to only return a few of those fields, those being cwd, data, history, messages, and values.

Furthermore, it seems like the history array is also empty if the markdown content is rendered via a custom loader's renderMarkdown() function (which was also part of my use case).

I've looked through the Issues here, and I noticed that a similar problem has happened in the past in #3264, stating that file.path was undefined and was fixed.

What's the expected result?

The file parameter in a remark plugin should return the full VFile data, mainly its filename and path.
